<p>I think we have a fundamental misunderstanding of what is happening.</p>
<p>My understanding is that the plugin will get notified of characters the user types by the <code>editor-notify</code> signal, when it has a suitable sequence of identifier characters its sends those to the language server to get what possible autocompletes are available at that position.  When the language server returns the list the plugin displays its autocomplete dialog, and if the user selects one, the plugin inserts that using <code>editor_insert_text_block()</code>.</p>
<p>So there is no Geany interaction with the autocompletion at all, and as I said Geany autocompletes should be turned off, you don't want two things trying to decide autocompletion at the same time, thats chaos.</p>
